Little Things that XIII.
Hartford Times

At various times the newspapers have warned
the public against swallowing the seeds OF
grapes oranges, ETC.. because of the danger Of
such substances getting into a small intestinal
bag, or cul-de-sac, called by the doctors the
appendix vermiformis. This little receptacle
formed at the junction Of the large and small
intestines; but its use or object no physician
knows. IL has been thought TO be a rudimentary
or incomplete formation-or possibly some
meaningless survival of lost anterior type
AT any rate, its existence, while presenting no
apparent reason for being" as the French say,
is, on the other hand positive and constant
source of danger, because of the liability of its
becoming the receptacle Of some undigested
seed or other indigestible substance. In that
case il produces a state Of Inflammation which
in nearly all eases proves fatal.
Fortunately but few seeds. among the great
number so heedlessly swallowed, seem 20 get
into this little eath-tmp-although any one
seems likely 10 lodge there. Perhaps more
cases Of inflammation of the bowels than the
doctors suspect may be in reality due TO this
obscure and disregarded cause. One sad case,
which to-day produces feeling of deep regret
among thousands. aud which plunges a family
into overwhelming grief, occurred in this city
on Saturday evening in the lamented death of
J. Robert Dwyer, the much esteemed Adiutant
Of the Governors Foot Guard-a man whose
place that ancient corps cannot well make good.
His case so bafled the physicians that an autopsy
was had, and that revealed piece Of peanut
shell in the appendix Uermiformis.

The South American ssuchO.

The Gaucho (gowcho) Of the pampas is the
most interesting character on the continent.
He is the descendant of the aristoeratic Spanish
don and the women Of the Guarani race
species unknown to any other part of the world
whose nearest likeness is the BedOuin of Arabia.
He is at once the most indOlent and the most
active of human beings. for when he is not in
the saddle deVOuring space on the back of
tireless bronchO he is sleeping in apathetic in
dOlence among his mistresses or gambling with
his ehums Half savage and half eOurtier the
Gaucho is as courteous as he is cruel and will
thrum an air on the native mandolin with the
same ease and nOnchalance as he will murder
a being or slaughter a steer. He recOg-
nizes no law but his own will and the unwrit-
ten code of the cattle range, and all violations
of this code are punished by banishment or
death. Whoever ofends him must fight or fly,
and his vengeance is as enduring as it is vigiant
He never shoots, or strikes with his fist, and
his only weapons are the short knife which is
never absent from his hand or his belt the lasso,
and the "bolas," implements of his trade,
offensive and defensive. A fight between
Gauchos is always to the death, and it is the
duty of him who kills 10 see that his victim is
decently buried, and the widow and orphans
cared for. The widow, if she pleases him, be-
comes his mistress, and the orphans grow up to
be GaachOs, under his tutelage. AS supersti-
tiOus as q Hindu, peaceable when sober, but
regardless of God and man when drunk, as
brave as lion, as active as n panther with an
endurance equal to any test. faithful to his
friends, az implacable as fate 10 anyone who
offends him, he has exercised powerful in
huence upon the destiny Of the Argentine Re-
public and retarded civilization until overcome
by an increased immigration of foreigners.

What 1t Costs 60 Raise a Boy.

My father never did anything for me, re-
Gently remarked young man who a few weeks
ago finished his school life, and is now seeking
a good business opening. Judging by the words
and the complaining tone in which they were
uttered the member OF the firm who heard
them is prone TO believe that the young mans
idea Of "doing something" is an outright gift
OF $1,000 in lump or the purchase of part
nership in an established concern. This young
man, to the knowledge OF the writer. has never
done one months actual work For others in his
entire life His life has been passed in the
pleasant pastimes Of the home circle, in read
ing. studying. hunting fishing, bali playing,
yachting aud other emplOymeuts not particu-
larly beneficial TO others. He is a type Of that
class of boys whose parents are sufficiently
well TO do 10 keep servants 10 attend the house
hold drudgery, aud whose fathers follow voca-
t0ns IN which no use can be made Of the boys
spare hours. Like most boys OF his class, he
looks upon his board and clothes for 20 wears
together with his pony, iewelry, bicycles etc,
as matters OF course. The writer, while the
complaining remark was still ringing In his
ears, had the curiosity 10 make a conservative
compilation Of what il costs 10 raise an ordinary
boy for the first 20 years Of his life, and here it
is:
sI0O per year FOR the FIRST five years...... $500
slJ0 per year for the second five ycars....... $50
500 per year for the third FIVE years ...... 900
$3.50 per year f0r the next three years ...... 900
500 per year FOR the next two years........ 900

This is a moderate estimate Of the financial
balance against the boy who complains that his
father has never done anything for him.

An Ok Boiled Whole.
From the London Times.

An experiment., rare, if not unprecedent-
ed, was tried on jubilee day at Liss, vii
lage on the London and Southwestern rail
way in Hampshire. 1t consisted in boiling
a bullock whole, in addition to one roasted
the evening before.
A hole dug in the groand was built over
with bricks Into the latter was built a
tank, and into the tank was lowered the car
caSs, placed within a case formed by iron
bars, to which chains were attached. Pull
leys from a scaffolding Immediately above
raised and lowered the OK, of which the
head and carcass were sewn up separately
in strong canvas. Carrots were boiled
with it, and potatoes inclosed in bags,
making gallons of rich soup. The fat was
removed from the carcass before boiling.
At $50 p. m. the carcass, which had been
boiled about seven hours, was raised from
the tank, two bands playing God Save the
Queen and Rule Britannia" on the scat
folding above. 1t was placed on a large
bier-like vehicle and carried on the shout
ders of twelve men to the booth where it
was to be cut up, the bands playing in
front. A beautiful wreath and flags were
placed over the OK, and the gentlemen who
gave the bullucks the butcher and an as

cooked. The huge knife and fork used on

Froln tie home (Go) Courier.
Thursday w. w. Combs, a merchant Of
Ringgold Ga, was in the city. While
walking around on Broad street he sudden
ly came across a face that was very familiar
to him. The two mep were not exactly
friends, and they did lot rush up and fond
ly embrace each otherl
The man who Mr.. ftbmbs saw was named
w. p. Ault, and he lone time was also a
merchant Of Ringgolt He, it is said, about
two years ago came 1 ON the State of Indi-
ana and opened up q trocery store He rep
resented himself as Ding man Of means,
though subsequent developments showed
that his starting cash was rather limited; AT
conducted business on the square,
and in a short while his credit be-
came No. !. In about one year after
opening it became 1Oised around that Mr.,
Ault was selling goods wonderfully cheap,
and, it was claimed. way below the cost
prices. After he had gotten his stock nearly
cleaned ont, which was about one year age,
he skipped the pleasant little mountain vii
lage and has not been seen by any inhab-
liant thereof until he came i'll contact
Thursday with Mr. Combs. In the mean
time his creditors have suffered on his ac-
count.
The two men did rot speak as they passed
by, though each eyed the other for all he
was worth. M. Ault hastily hurried up
Elm street and Mr. Combs, catching sight
of Policeman Dempsey, soon put him on
the track. Mr.. Alllt seemed in some hurry,
and it was quite awhile, after much ia
tiguing exercise that the officer came upon
him.
Combs, not having the least idea of ever see
ing Ault, Of course, had no warrant for his
arrest. He induced Dempsey to take walk
with the man and kept him in tow while he
did some telegraphng. He wired two or
three of Ault'S Old creditors, and among
them was the firm of J. NJ Veach & Co.
Adairsville. This firm referred Combs to
their Mr.. Bovd, VINO was then in Rome, and
that gentleman soon was found. He was
very glad to see Alllt and was anxious that he
should settle the little bill owed by him to
his establishment, This Ault agreed to do,
and MIR. Boyd told him that so far as he
was concerned, he would not prosecute
him. The other creditors telegraphed had
not answered IN to the time the 2:40 o'clock
afternoon train pulled out On board of
this train was thd trio, MeSsrs. Combs, Ault
and Boyd, and byi this time, probably, the
little difference bktween the latter two Is
settled
